Like it or not, bye-bye Connor Murphy will be one of the results of today's foolish overspend on these 2. What's next, a long term deal for Clendening?

His first step is so slow and when he's not on the ice with Keith he's not very good.

I decided not to re-up my 4 season tkts for next year in section 318 section. Three other people near me also gave up all there tkt's up 2 weeks ago even though their sales rep was willing to force them to pay for the 4 exhibition games.There has to be at least twenty 20% of season tkt holders not renewing their tkt's. A combination of bad hockey on display, price of tkt's becoming way overpriced and customers not able to write off their tickets as a business expense all played a major role in the demise of filling the the UC.

Just heard Eddie say what Wiz has been saying all along about Darling, for someone so big he plays awfully small

Hawks getting owned but Darling gave Seabrook a gift lol

Darling definitely does not have the poise he had when he played with us

... its a discussion board. Where ideas are discussed... about the team we all (mostly) really like. When the management, coaching, players do something that we think is foolish (or close to criminal) there are going to be a lot of comments about it. Otherwise this becomes a meditation board, and that's not fun for anyone.

Hear Hear...all due respect GP...but as Chunk states its good healthy discussion I may not agree with someone else's point of view, but I'm certainly open to healthy debate...and as one of Bowman's toughest critics I don't hate the man. I hate that he's running this team into the ground with his horrid trade record, drafting record and his overpays which have crippled his ability to reshape the roster...
the two latest overpays are just an ongoing problem with the current GM.

BTW for the TVR haters out there...he's got 1g 10 helpers this season. 16min TOI and a plus 7...how badly could the Hawks use that right now?

Can't believe Ron Francis was moved out by the new Canes owner - if McD had a clue he'd move Stan into a scouting position or something and bring in Francis immediately. But alas McD has his man crush on Scotty...and so the trainwreck continues...

Why is our defenseman on such a big hurry to leave the defensive zone, WTF, Berube is frickin solid

Evander Kane, John Moore, and a top 10 pick added to this team and they are a playoff team in 19/20.

Did he always? I seem to remember thinking he filled the whole net.

Murphy almost with 2 goals tonight in our own net

Kaner hooked and STILL dangles Slavin at the blue line....he's (frank)ing good

I hate Toews on the power play

Toews ability to process the game imo has severely declined, telegraph everything he does

I believe so it would be his final comment when the Crawford/Darling debate raged on

Could not agree more. Looks both mentally and physically slower. Concussions a factor or is it simply his focus/drive has waned?

Evander Kane, (frank) no

How is Carolina not leading this game?

How does Carolina not have a better record?

Answer to both is Goaltending. They don’t give up a lot of chances and they push everything back the other way quickly.

Wander Kane, (frank) no

Have you watched him play in San Jose? He's been dominant with Pavelski. Fast, physical, goes to the net, and score goals. Basically a Saad type that also lays hard body checks, unlike 20 who never hits.

Who could blow up at any time with his attitude.

Playing for a contract aka Kyle Fuller of the Bears, thanks but no thanks

That's what the Hawks pay Toews and Seabrook for, right?

God dammit

Such a typical play for the Hawks this year. Keith or Murphy have to know penalty is over....

That's what the Hawks pay Toews and Seabrook for, right?
- EnzoD

As far as his play I agree. And perhaps he was taken down a peg in the Peg and another one in Buffalo and he's matured. I'll reserve my opinion until I see the playoffs. You might wind up being right, but I'm not crazy about the odds of E. Kane being a solid citizen long term, Toews and Seabrook or not.

God dammit
- BetweenTheDots

I love that we have all of our “best”players on the ice on a power play and can’t even enter the damn zone....

This team has no awareness whatsoever, constantly making passes to players who are covered, end of the penalty bull poop, honestly I can't imagine this is good for Q's health
